Services
We are a two-person Ruby team in Osaka, and we take on small, well-defined jobs at a fixed price. We upgrade, build and review Rails applications, and we work on the less common Rubies too: JRuby on the JVM and Spinel, Matz's new ahead-of-time compiler.
Rails and Ruby upgrades
Move an old Rails application to current Rails and Ruby step by step, without a rewrite and without stopping feature work. We start with a fixed-price roadmap.
Upgrade roadmap: $1,500
Ruby on Rails development
Small, well-defined Rails work at a fixed price: a first version of a new application, one feature, a fix, or monthly maintenance.
Feature or fix: from $1,000
Code audit and second opinion
An outside review of your Rails codebase, or of a proposal you have been given, written up in plain language so you can decide what to do next.
Second opinion: $500
JRuby and Java integration
Run Rails on the JVM, call Java libraries from Ruby, or embed Ruby in a Java system. We contribute to JRuby itself, so we can fix the problem where it starts.
JRuby assessment: from $2,000
Spinel: compile Ruby to native binaries
Spinel is Matz's new ahead-of-time compiler: it turns a subset of Ruby into a standalone native binary. We contribute to it, and we can tell you whether your code fits.
Feasibility study: $2,000
